you are absolutely right MPDev...

the question is not if the transaction was good or not for Jelsoft... there is no problem with that, it is a good thing for them...

but most of the projects with volunteers are managed by volunteers and "usually" are kept volunteered... projects managed by companies are usually a single bunch inside a company and the whole is sold in a single piece...

but here, we have the great vb.com project, by Jelsoft, and vb.org, by Jelsoft... for vb.com, no problem, it will be business as usual.... but for vb.org, where people are not inside the transaction... what will come of all the work done here "for the pleasure of it" ???

if this site would have been in the transaction, we'd be able to read it in the announcement... but even none of the coder, none of the volunteers have been thanked... just the clients... so get of the dream guys.

oh, and btw, Zachery... i'm here for the sake of providing support for my clients... because i have a lot of them on this site, and i support them here, because it is easy to reach the resources... i was not in the transaction regarding IB and Jelsoft, so i'm not employee of IB... what is my place then ?!... none... like the whole bunch of guys who do it for the fun of it.
